How to Tackle Anxiety in a Big City

Mental Health is something I've been wanting to address on my blog for quite a while now, but I didn't quite know whether putting my two cents in would be worth it. I'm not an expert on mental health, nor am I someone who suffers hugely from any disorder. However, more and more people seem to be coming forward with their conditions, which has opened up the conversation of mental health and the importance to nurture and take care of it just as much as your physical body, which is something I fully support.

Reflecting On The End Of Summer

I know technically summer lasts until the end of September, but going back to school is really the final step towards the end of the warmth of the past couple of months. This summer has been truly amazing for me. I've travelled to lots of lovely places (see some of them here), visited friends and family, and also enjoyed just chilling at home in New York, which is something I like to do more than often, as I really don't want to take this wonderful city for granted.

A Californian Throwback

As the summer is drawing to a close, I thought it would be only fitting to share some sunny lovin' photos with you all. Granted, these were taken back during Spring Break this year, but the ocean blue is enough to make me reminisce over the warm weather of California, and make me lust for the summer to last just a couple more months.

The Importance of Giving Back

Living in New York City is hard. Yes, being surrounded by the stereotypical "rich kids" of Manhattan on a daily basis, I admit, makes me a little blinded to the privilege I have. But then I step out of my little bubble and am faced with an immense amount of homelessness that pulls me straight back to reality. The huge gap between wealthy and poor here in the city is so obvious, yet so many people seem so oblivious.

Selfie to Self-Expression | Saatchi Gallery

I don't often visit art galleries, yet whenever I do the artistic ambiance seems to amaze me each time. I found myself in London with a friend recently, and spontaneously decided to go to a couple of galleries (all of which had free entry, which made me extra happy!). I was particularly intrigued by the "Selfie to Self-Expression" exhibition at the Saatchi gallery in Chelsea, which showcased a number of self portraits through a vast amount of time, leading up to today's infamous 'selfie'.

The Nice Travel Diary: Èze

Alright, so it's not strictly Nice, but how could we not take a trip to the gorgeous village of Èze? My parents had told me so many stories of the beautiful haven filled with cobble stoned walkways and picturesque views of the Mediterranean, and so obviously I was thrilled to explore the place. It took us a little over half an hour to get to it from Nice, although this did include several stops to take in the scenery on the way. Èze is located high up on a mountain right by the French Riviera, and as our visit was right in the middle of July, the village was soaked in the Mediterranean sun.

The Nice Travel Diary: Le 16 Juillet

Here comes the second installment of my Nice Travel Diary, however this one's a little less picturesque and a little more thoughtful...

The Nice Travel Diary

After giving you all a sneak peek of the blue heaven that is the French Riviera in my last post, I thought I'd share some snaps from my holiday in Nice a few weeks ago. I've split it up into a couple of posts, so I won't bombard you with a billion shots at once. Here are just a few I took on the beachfront and along the promenade. 

• A New Start •

Hello readers or fellow bloggers! It's been a while - a full four months if you want the facts - and a lot has changed for me. I'm not going to give you all any excuses for why I've been away, as I've gone on about the blogging situation in several posts in the past, but I've generally had a lot of life changes within the last few months. 

• Cacti & Blog Chat •

My desk/dressing table was looking a little messy so I decided to give it a good tidy and put these three little cacti on it. Apart from that the last couple of weeks have been mainly me studying as the final week of school approaches, but I must admit most of that time has been spent procrastinating.
